Trump’s 2030 Census PLAN EXPOSED? Democrat Warns Of ‘RIGGED SYSTEM’ With Residency Rules Change

We're here today to oppose the proposed changes to the 2030 Census. The Constitution, as the Lieutenant Governor said, mandates every 10 years we count all of the people who live in the United States. It mandates that population be the basis for sharing political power. It's not wealth and it's not land. Getting a complete and accurate count is critical. It determines how trillions of dollars in federal funds are allocated to our states, to our counties, to our communities. It ensures that each community, including places like Hamden, receive their fair share of critical programs like Medicare, Head Start, school lunch, affordable child care. It helps communities pay for the construction of schools, hospitals, new roads and bridges. Communities across this country benefit the most when the census counts everyone. The Trump administration is proposing to change that, that they have the potential, that it has the potential to negatively impact every single community, no matter the size, no matter the location, shredding, really shredding social safety nets. 2023 alone, data from the 2020 census governed The distribution of over 2.24 trillion dollars. Across 371 federal programs, again, Medicaid, CHIP, SNAP, Title X family planning, in states like Connecticut, where over 63,000 recently lost their SNAP benefits under the one big beautiful bill, inaccurate census data can be catastrophic. And, you know, the governor came to the aid of that situation Thank you very much. Dealing with that, the state is not going to be able to deal with the catastrophe that this portends. And it isn't possible for the state, the legislators to be able to deal with this. Under the rule of the census, which excludes millions of people, including asylum seekers, dreamers, reducing representation for communities with large immigrant populations. And I might add, We go back to 1790. 1790, what in God's name are we talking about here? You got the 14th Amendment. There's a requirement that you count all persons for congressional apportionment. That determines the size of the congressional representation in the Congress. It talks about removing key demographic questions, race, ethnicity. It makes it harder to track disparities and to enforce civil rights protections. Again, it's changing how residency is counted, increasing the risk of distorted representation. And the lieutenant governor talked about that as well. Well, again, each of these pieces is rooted In the Constitution, back to 1790, the changes severely erode the accuracy of the census. It is illegal, my friends. It is an effort by the Trump administration to punish blue states and states with higher immigrant populations. New York, California, New Jersey, yes, and Connecticut. Connecticut ranks 11th out of all 50 states for immigrant population. This is an effort. To rig the system, rob the American people of their right to be represented properly.
